SRAM Bottom Bracket GXP Team Cups English Thread inc Bearings 73/68mm
Other systems rely on side-loaded bearings to eliminate play, which can lead to premature bearing wear. However, GXP takes a different approach by securing the left-side bearing between the spindle and the left crankarm, allowing the drive-side bearing to float axially on the spindle. This eliminates the need for side-loading bearings during adjustment, reducing excess wear and simplifying the installation process.
With GXP, all you need to do is tighten to the proper specifications, and you're ready to ride without worries. The system features two bicycle-specific cartridge bearings and eight seals to ensure a smooth and long-lasting ride. Additionally, our new Gutter seal system employs a two-stage approach to direct contaminants away from the bearings, resulting in extended bearing life. The Gutter Seal design also reduces friction, offering 35% less drag compared to the current GXP Bottom Bracket, thereby enhancing rider feel and performance. Furthermore, the Gutter seal system incorporates deeper installation tool grooves, providing stability and support while applying torque to the adapter cups. Through careful design and material selection, we've managed to reduce the weight of the GXP Bottom Brackets by 15g, further enhancing their performance.
